MHE Fleet Consultancy Service???

Have spent many years in the MHE/Service Industry in the UK picking up lots of knowledge with regards to truck type and application issues,improvement areas,damage reduction, cost reduction/truck upgrades to improve safety/reduce costs debt resolution etc relating to large fleets of trucks.

Seems to be a lot of companies in the US offering consultancy services relating to Fleet Management advice but doesn't seem many in the UK?

Interested to find out if there appears to be a Market for this in the UK,if anyone has used someone for this type of service what kind of costs are charged. Info from the US would be usefull as well.

Are costs based on % of cost reduction,daily/hourly rate or one off cost subject to Fleet size?

We did fleet management program for Fortune 500 companies in US for many years. Back living in UK and would be interested in starting a company here, the savings for a effective fleet management program are substantial.
Let's talk.

I do this type of work in the USA.

Interest in this type of service usually comes from larger Clients with a National presence (20-30 locations) throughout the USA. We do have smaller clients 3-4 locations and a few single sites. Fleet sizes range from 1,350 to 65 units.

We have structured % of savings, flat rate hourly, and cost per truck deals.

Pricing is determined by services rendered, audits, consolidated billing, web reporting, site visits and fleet rotations strategies and recommendations.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
